Translated transcripts issue

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi, I'm a student in a French school who is applying to US colleges and I'm having an issue with my transcripts. I have had my transcripts translated by a certified agency and have given them to my counselor. However, he is unable to send it through Naviance (Common App online transcript submission system) because the file is too large as I don't have a single-page transcript for all of my high school career but rather one page per trimester (kind of like a report card).
Therefore, I'm going to be mailing my transcripts to my schools. However, the translation agency has only given me one original print-out of the translations so I have made color copies of the translation to send them to each college that I'm applying and the quality of the copies is pretty decent. Will colleges who explicitly require official transcripts accept these copies for the application review process?
I'll be sending my original translation to the college I decide to go to after I receive my admissions decisions.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>I expect that if you send an official copy from your school along with the photocopy of the translation everything should be OK. But you should double-check that with the people in the [International</a> Students - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/]International”>International Students - College Confidential Forums) b@r!um has answered this type of question several times. If she doesn’t answer quickly, look through the threads there to find what she’s written before.</p>
